Hello, I am using this wireless adapter to connect to my household network:
http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-adapters/A6100.aspx
Sometimes it works fine. But other times, my connection center on Windows tells me that I'm connected to the network, but have no internet access. This would lead me to believe that it's a problem with my router, except that even when my desktop gives me that "no internet access" message, my other wifi devices have no problem picking up the signal.
According to the the FAQs on the netgear link i posted above, the adapter works on both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. I am also using a wireless mouse that runs at 2.4 GHz. Could this be causing interference? If so, is there a way to make my adapter/router ONLY run at 5.0 GHz, and if so, would changing those settings on my router affect other computers on the network?
